So now I am wondering if I can modify an existing product I have created to print in a specific color.
Can I upload a new version of the existing model to that product with the color data included without having to recreate the product and it's page again?]]>2What Is The Best Material To Print GearsWed, 27 May 2020 00:52:26 +0000https://www.shapeways.com/forum/t/what-is-the-best-material-to-print-gears.100867/

I know that it is possible to print multi-piece models. Is it considered the same thing if the pieces are identical?

That is, if I want to have several copies of a small (let's call it) "doo-dad," is it possible to lay these doo-dads out in an array in one mobdro.bio/luckypatcher.tips/kodi.bio/ model file...

I would like to print an object which has a part in vivid bright orange in glossy finish full color sandstone.
I mean an orange color like in this "Orange Car V8" model:https://www.shapeways.com/product/XEC547G95/orange-car-v8?optionId=60843554&li=marketplace
(i don't need the actual orange-fruit-like surface, I only need a simple uniform orange color).
